Yes, and more; she was looking on with a cool, measuring eye. Oh, it was all very grotesque, to be sure. But then, mutiny on the high seas in the year nineteen-thirteen is also grotesque. No lists here between mailed knights for a lady's favour, but merely the trouncing of a chuckle-head for spitting on the deck of a coal-carrier.
Reef in the mainsail, and haul on the tack; For it's windy weather " Here Long Jack joined in: "And it's blowy weather; When the winds begin to blow, pipe all hands together!" Dan went on, with a cautious look at Tom Platt, holding the accordion low in the bunk: "Up jumped the cod with his chuckle-head, Went to the main-chains to heave at the lead; For it's windy weather," etc.
Little mishaps, that you would hardly notice on dry land, drive you nearly frantic with rage, when they occur on the water. When Harris or George makes an ass of himself on dry land, I smile indulgently; when they behave in a chuckle-head way on the river, I use the most blood-curdling language to them. When another boat gets in my way, I feel I want to take an oar and kill all the people in it.
"A-goo!" said the baby, in a winning gurgle. "He says his name's Goo!" announced Joseph. "Don't be a chuckle-head, Joe!" said Adam. "What was the name on the paper, mother?" "It said 'his father is a Waif; but I don't take that to be a Christian name. Surname, more likely, shouldn't you say, father?" "Not a Christian name, certainly," said Father Golden.

I suppose you know, sir, that the Major's chucking out the orders right and left, and it's all just as if we were surrounded by the enemy." "No, chuckle-head! How could I know all that?
Then, as Koskomenos hovered on quivering wings just over my head, I tossed the captive close up beside him. "There, Koskomenos, take your young chuckle-head, and teach him better wisdom. Next time you see me stalking a bear, please go on with your fishing." But there was no note of gratitude in the noisy babel that swept up the bay after the kingfishers.
Can he talk, mother?" "Joe, you chuckle-head!" said Adam, who was sixteen, and knew most things. "How can he talk, when he hasn't got any teeth?" "Uncle 'Rastus hasn't got any teeth," retorted Joseph, "and he talks like a buzz-saw." "Hush, Joseph!" said Mother Golden, reprovingly. "Your Uncle 'Rastus is a man of years." "Yes, mother!" said Joseph, meekly. "Baby has got a tooth, too, Adam!"
Tom Platt seemed to be hunting for something. Dan crouched lower, but sang louder: "Up jumped the flounder that swims to the ground. Chuckle-head! Chuckle-head! Mind where ye sound!" Tom Platt's huge rubber boot whirled across the foc'sle and caught Dan's uplifted arm.
What the people want is a fish that is fresher. And so, you know, that immortal idiot is actually going to dump those mackerel overboard in the hope that they'll swim about and make themselves at home. Well, if the governor will appoint such chuckle-head commissioners, what else can you expect? "However, I said nothing.
This dead tree of the locust group was the regular perch of "the loneliest of its kind," the phoebe, whose big chuckle-head and high shoulders gave him the look of an old man, bent with age. His outline one could never mistake, even though he were but a silhouette against the sky.
